This report is necessarily brief and is intended to convey only highlights of the year's activities. Reports from the deans have been provided as attachments to this for more detailed information.

The report reveals that considerable progress was experienced during 1965-66. Of special note is progress in faculty development, improvement in instruction and development of research programs. Not only were substantial gains made by the addition of new well-qualified faculty members, but many members of the faculty have taken advantage of study opportunities to gain up-to-date knowledge and, in some cases, complete the Ph.D. A shortage of research space and facilities continues to retard the expansion of our graduate enrollment, although some gains are noted this year.

I believe that the report reflects significant accomplishments.

This is the first report of an annual series planned by the admi nistration inaugurated at the University of Mi ssouri at Rolla in September of 1963. It is a selecti ve recording of past accomplishments, a synopsis of 1965-19 66 events , a nd , to a lesser extent, an assessment of needs .

By 1963 the University of Missouri at Rolla had a lmo>t a century old history of distinguisheCl trad iti ons in teachin g, a large and competent s tudent body , and an enviable record of public serv ice in hi ghly specialized engineering and scientific pursuits. Nonetheless , in it s endeavor to keep abreast of the swift tide of contemporary technological change, the institution has of necessity in the pas t three years undergone significant s tructural and proced ural alterations . The most notable of these occurred in Jul y of 1964 when the Umversity of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy was reorganized within the new University of Missouri System and beca me the academically autonomous University of Missouri at Rolla. It s dean of facu lties was designated Chancellor, and deans were assigned as th e chief adm inistrative officers of four schools; the School of Mines and M etallurgy , the School of Engineering, the School of Science, a nd the Grad uate School. In addition , this year a n autonomou s Graduate Faculty was establi shed , for the first time independent of its counterpa rt on the Columbia campus.

H owever , the innovations have not been confined to structural reorganization. Rising enrollments , particularly a t the gradu a te leve l, have necessitated numerous additions to the faculty and in creased depth in the administrati ve s taff. At the same time , the Presi dent and Board o f C urators have directed the University of Mi sso uri at Rolla to enlarge its services in research and continuing education. This responsibility has required that this campus adopt a nd develop many new procedures and activities, a nd prepa re for many ot hers.

The bulk of this report , therefore , is devoted to a review o f developments in a n in stitut ion which has in a very br ief interval unclergone important revision of its functional stru cture. and partial. though significant reorientation of its object ives.

This does not imply that the Rolla faculty and ad mini stralion have departed from th e school 's traditiona l concern for und ergrad uate teaching of engineering and the physical sciences. Actuall y , it is th e intention that the ad ditional and revised p rograms shall be implemented in such manner as to streng then these specialties, rather than to detract from or impair them. Th e ins tit uti on will not seek add itional funds to be dispersed in a n excessively wide latitude of endeavo rs. It is instead the int tntion to assure that a few thin gs are done excell entl y rather than man y things in effectually.

Nonetheless, the unprecedented pace of modern technologica l progress necessitates accep tan ce of a new balance in the content and direction of our instru ctional programs. And , in the last ana lys is , the innovations which have been and wil l be adop ted will yield a harves t of benefits more than amply recoverin g the costs to M isso uri tax payers .

Enrollment and Student Finances In 1965 the University enrolled 4,41 3 young men a nd women on the Rolla campus, 458 of whom were graduate s tudents . It a lso enrolled 327 advanced students at the Graduate Engineer ing Center in St. Louis County. (Appendix I ) . These s tatistics reflect trends which have prevailed at Rolla for many years; an increase averaging about

December 1966

8 percent per year , discounting the enrollment in the Grad uate Center.

Paralleling national patterns, the enrollment in those disciplines for which the University has been renowned for man y decades has remained relatively stabl e; the expansion has centered in the more general suhjects, notably civil , elec trical , mechanical and chemical engin eering, and the physical sciences. The largest overall enrollment , 963 , was in the D epar tm ent of Mecha nical Engineer ing, with E lectrical and Civil Engin eerin g enrollin g 902 and 793 respec tivelY: The sharpest increases at the freshman leve l occurred in the D epa rtments of Chemical and M echa ni ca l Engineerin ~, an d in Physics, while the grarlua te enrollment showed greatest gain s in Chem ica l and Civil Engineering and in Physics .

The financing of coll egiate education continues to be a most perplexing problem for ma ny families, particularly th ose whose children have elected speciali zed or professional pursuits. Many Roll a st udent s come from middl e and lower-middle income hom es where respect for professional training is J trong but parents are unable to prov id e adequate financial aid. Fortunately, in contras t to stud ent expe nditures at numerou s eng in eering schools , perh aps as much as 53500 per year. ma ny UMR students mus t and are able to restri ct th eir costs to less tha n $ 1300. This is a pattern which we prefer to defend rather than disrupt ; becau se the typi ca l UMR st ud ent relies heavily upon his own industry a nd resourcefulness in finan cing his educa ti on . h e emerges as a proven quantity in the judgment of employers.

Nonetheless, the U niversity is pressing a dili ge nt sea rch for finan cial assistance for its stu dent s. During the year loans were prnv id ed to 865 s tudents in a n a mount tota li ng ~239 .000 . Of thi s. well over half was derived from the l\ati ona l Defen se St udent Loan Fund.

Curator 's Scholarships and others privately sponsored. cont ributed another significant fraction.

The federally financed College Work-S tudy Program was initiated September of 1965 . Severe restrictions limit ed it s early use . bu t th e later relaxation of these rules permitted a su bstantial increase in the number of qualify ing applicants. A tota l of 115 st udents were assisted during the regular school year , and a n add iti ona l 40 we re employed during the summer of 1966 .

III

The federal government 's Edu ca ti onal Opportunities Gra nb were initiated in the spri ng. These award s ha ve been or wi ll be made to students entering as freshmen in Sep tember of 1966.

In both the Coll ege Work-Study Progra m a nd the Ed ucationa l Opportunities Grants the size and number of awards will increase next year.

The s tudent a id programs, loan s, scholarships, a nd part-time employment a re expected to provide about $580,000 of ass is tance in the coming academic yea r , seve ra l times the amount a vailable a s recently as three yea rs ago . Enlarged grants from in d ustrial so urces will assist in thi s expansion.

Although not enough of the University's qualifi ed stud ents needing financia l assis ta nce are able to obtain it from one or seve ral of these sources, progress has been encouraging .

Curriculum Development UMR is respec ted for the quality of its graduat es, as is a ttested by employers and by gradua te schools whi ch accept its young people for further tra ining. Thi s reputation , li ke that of any scient ifi c ins ti-

11

I

tution , is not inviolable, for the ~ft advance of modern technological and scientific fronti ers hastens -tbe obsolesc.ence of established knowledge. It is self-evident, therefore, that the sustaining of our reputa tion requires constant and systematic assessment and revision of the University's curricu la . For example, electrical engineering, as recently as 30 years ago, was devoted to the relatively simple problems related to electric power production and transmission.. Today, though these . continue to be important to the field , numerous and far more sophisticated subjects such as complex electronic devices and computer systems are regarded as essential topics of study . Physics, wh ich only a few years ago consisted largely of mechanics, electricity and magnetism, heat, sound, and light, today includes quantum theory, relativity, atomic, molecular and nuclear structures, cosmic rays and solid state physics, to name but a few . There are no engin eering or science disciplines on the campus which are not undergoing similar constant, and almost revolution ary, adva ncement.

We do not, therefore , embark on curricular revisions, deletions or additions capriciously or arbitrarily. The objective is rather to assure the validity of our academic offerings, and thereby protect both the University's reputation and that of its graduates as being the best prepared in their chosen areas of specialization.

For these reas ons, durin g the past three years the faculty has formaliz ed 27 Preference Programs a nd 2 new degrees at the bachelor's level, 10 additional departmental and "Area Study" (interdepartmental) master 's degrees, and 9 additional departmental and Area Study doctoral degrees. In chem istry, for example, the student may now elect a Preference Program in biochemistry, nuclear and radiochemist ry , paint or polymers, grad uate study preparation , or industrial preparation . The electrical engin eering major may specialize in computer and control systems, communications systems, electronics and antennas, or energy conversion. New Bachelor of Science degrees have been initiated (1965) in Computer Science and Engineering Mechanics.

Typical of new maste r's degrees are those in Engineering Physics and Geophysical Engin eeri ng, whi le Area Study master 's progran1s include those in Engineering Admin istration and Energy Conversion, among others. Doctoral degrees are now offered in a ll degree granting departments except Mathematics and Engineering Mechanics, and these are' expected to be inaugurated in 1967. (Appendix '2) .

Excell ence in engineering ed uca tion requires strong and complete complementary programs in th e basic sciences and mathematics, and sound , though more limited , supportin g offerings in humanities, social studies a nd the life sciences. For these reasons the faculty is, currently s tudying other degrees and specia lizations which it hopes to introduce within the nex t fiv e years. Of these, a Bachelor of Science in Humanistic Studies and a Bachelor o f Science in Engineering Management a re for several reasons among the more immediate objectives.

Instru,tion

UMR has pursued a consistent policy of encouraging enrollment of the most thoroughly qualifi ed young people from a ll areas of Missouri. Th is ha s been done on the assumpt ion that the University can best serve its sponsors, the people of Missouri , by developing the larges t enrollment which does not forfeit quality.

Despite the selective character of admissions, the faculty has been much concerned about two aspects of its instruction effort. One is deficienci es in communications skills among the entering students ; the second is what we regard as a too high attrition rate.

These problems have been met directly by two programs inaugurated during the past year. The fir st was a se ries of tests conducted to determined as accurately as possible the exact magnitude of fr es hm an

12

deficiencies in verbal skill s. Second, with the ass istance of a federal grant under Title VI of the Hi gher Education Act, a Developmental Reading and Study Skills Center has been established . A program of early summer registration of freshmen has been initiated to provide an opportunity to identify students in need of these services. The success of these measures will not be determined immediately, but it is the intention that if they produce clear evidence of value to our stud ents they will be expanded .

For somewhat similar purposes, the D epartment of Mathematics this year has inaugu rated a dual instruction procedure combining large lecture sections and small recitation classes . The immediate results of this project have been most promis ing and its development is being followed closely.

Two years ago the University embarked on a broadened program of extended services, some new, others enlargements, of existing o fferings. One new service, the St. Louis Graduate E ngineering Center, has more than fulfilled our expectations. As indicated elsewhere in this report , the Center enrolls over 300 graduate students, an d the numb er is ri sing. In ad dition , the Office of Extension and Continuing Education has ina ugurated a number of instruction programs taught in Sl. Louis and in other communities by staff members, usuall y in person , but on some occasions, by wire photo service.

For a number of yea rs UMR has conducted for new staff mem bers an instruction program in effect ive teachin g, prior to the beginning of the fall session. Its effectiveness has been repeated ly acclaimed by the majority of its pa rticipants, both experienced a nd inexperi enced , and its continua tion is expected to prove beneficial to the Uni versity's whole instructional effort.

A systematic faculty eva luation by s tu dents is being conducted in a program institu ted by the School of Science . A significant number of other staff members utili ze independent student evaluations of instructional effort.

Student Personnel Servi ces

UMR has for many years maintained a limited progra m of student gui dance, counseling and advisement. With recent increases in enrollment, however, it has become apparent that more comprehensive assistance is needed. The practice of the past has become inadequate, inasmuch as few of the faculty, although highly prepared in engineering and science di sciplines, a re profess ionally prepared in counseling.

For this reason, th e office of Direc tor of Student Personnel was created in 1963 . In the intervening years that office has assumed many of the time consuming and perplexing problems of s tud ent advisement and student government which were formerly accepted as a responsib ility vf the fac ulty. Th e transfer has been accomplished in harmony with a broadened program of faculty advisement in technical matters. One of the desirable consequences has been more careful a nd anticipatory analyzing of causes of academic fai lure, and some limited progress in rehabilitating academic casualties.

One of the less diffi cu lt areas of st udent service is the placement of UMR graduates. The demand for its young people, both for summer and permanen t employment, continu es unabated and most impressive. During the year the Placement Se rvice arranged 7,400 interviews with represe ntatives of 750 corporations. The average monthly starting sa lary of th e Uni versity 's baccalaureate graduates was $680 . The average monthl y sa la ry for those receiving the maste r's deg~ee was $830, and those with doc toral degrees entered employment at salari es of $ 13,500 to $ 17 ,040 pe r year.

lnel was assumed student epted as lished in technical eful and ~ limited

students on the campus. This year UMR enrolled about 100, four times as many as in 1963. Because of increasing eq ui ty in industrial opportunities, it is probable that the trend will continue in all of the engineering and science curricula. Others will be attracted by the new intercampus (Columbia-Rolla) Bachelor of Education program which was inaugurated in 1965. It is assumed that better coeducational balance will have a salutary impact on the general campus environment, and UMR encourages the enrollment of women qualified for admission to any of its academic programs.

Faculty Development and Graduate Study

The University has made commendable progress in strengthening its teaching and research faculty. The Dean of Faculties reports that the number of faculty members holding doctoral degrees increased from 67 in 1963 to 141 in 1966, and of the professorially ranked, 62 percent now hold doctoral degrees as compared to 44 percent three years ago. Particular progress has been made in the professional standings in the Departments of Humanities, Social Studies, Engineering Mechanics, Mathematics, and Mechanical and Civil Engineer ing.

Five programs initiated in 1964 to provide suppo rt for faculty development and graduate st udy have been continued in 1965 and 1966. They include: summer research fellowships , summer research appointments, faculty research grants, departmental equipment gran ts. and department development funds. These programs are financed in part by the University and in part by National Defense Educational Act, National Aeronautics and Space Administration , an d National Science Foundation grants. These funds, though insuffici ent, have financed the completion of several delayed publications and the initiation of a considerable number of research studies and proposals.

Execution of UMR's growing graduate programs presents three persis tent problems: <1.) supporting fund s, b) building space, and c) research equipment. In fact , these are the three keys to a successful graduate and research effort ; outstanding scholars and researchers understandably tend to seek the environments in which they may most effectively pursue thei.r objectives. During 1965-66 the University enrolled a total of 458 Master of Science and Ph. D. candidates, 190 of whom receivf'd a total of $443 ,650 from four sources ; state funds ($230,640), federal traineeship funds ($132,050), industrial and similar funds ($24,280), and research contracts and grants ($54,256). (See Appendix 3). It should be noted that although approximately one-half of these resources came from outside Missouri, the General Assembly's appropriations for the University'S employment of graduate assistants were an obvious essential. The consistent attraction of competent graduate scholars will require continued enlargement of all of these financial resources. They contribute significantly to the instructional effort of the University, and their cost is minimal.

Comments elsewhere in this report explain something of the space and equipment problems. Although UMR is now in the midst of a very substantial construction program, it is apparent that the needs of its graduate programs exceed the facilities currently in existence or under construction. Engineering and scientific universities, unlike general institutions, must require extraordinary numbers of laboratory hours of instruction; grad uate study and laboratory research in such institutions can be conducted only with several times the space and equipment requirements of their counterparts in general studies .

There are no rigid criteria upon which to compare institutional needs ; however, the freshmen and sophomores on this campus ca rry approximately three times as many laboratory hours as do majors in general subjects, and they continue this heavy program of laborato ry study through the junior and senior years. Research in technological areas is likewise far more demanding of space and equipment than are such pursuits in general institutions. As technological progress continues

in its unrelenting pace, the deficiencies in facilities and equipment necessary to sustain a reputable grad uate and research program will tend to be compounded.

David Allison , senior editor of the Journal of International Science and Technology, recently diagnosed some of the problems graduate students and schools will face as the post-war birthrate" front " passes beyond the undergraduate level in 1968-69. With many observers, he anticipates such a deluge that individual professors may be " carrying" 50 or more graduate students, many on contracts, entailing financial support of a small army of dependents. Departments in generalized studies in great state institutions may be faced with literally thousands of graduate candidates.

Fortunately, UMR will hold unique advantages in this critical situation. Its graduate programs will doubtless face the threat of overwhelming numbers, but the pattern of intense specialization which characterizes the University 's curricula will do much to stem the woes of " digit students " and " paper mill " professorial relations. The newly founded autonomous Graduate Faculty, rigidly selective in composition and policies, will do much to preserve the close faculty-student relations which have always prevailed at Rolla, and will provide continuity of guidance in the best interest of the advanced student.

Under any circumstance, because the quality of graduate enrollments is closely associated with the prominence of faculti es and excellence of research facilities, the University can best strengthen its services in gradua te study by continuous improvement in these areas.

As the graduate programs prosper, it will be our policy to accept, within the limits of our facilities, as many fully qualified applicants as we can justly hope to carry to mature professionalism, and to preserve both the University's and its students' identities.

Research and Special Training Programs

Rolla's research pr'ograms have undergone extensive reorganization and reorientation in the past three years. In addition to enlarged departmental research efforts, five organizations integrating selected research areas have been been established ; the Graduate Center for Materials Research, the Industrial Research Center, the Environmental Health Research Center, the Water Resources Research Center, and the Graduate Center for Electronics Research. Two others, the Nuclear Reactor and the Computer Science Center, have been operative for a number of years. Other research groups are evolving, including one in cloud physics.

Individual staff members received grants from a number of government agencies and industries during the 1965-66 academic y ear.

Among the more important were a $40,419 grant by the Army Research Office - Durham for a study of the. alumino-silicate glasses, and another of $9,124 for calorimetric measuremer.t of negative surface energy. The Department of the Army awarded a gran t of $21,722 for an investigation of spherical waves in viscoelastic solids. The Atomic Energy Commission awarded two grants, one of $66,640 for an investigation of nuclear radiation effects on silicon P-N junctions, and another of $44,031 for a study of the ferroelectric properties of bismuth fer rate.

The Department of the Interior, through several of its agencies, awarded grants totaling in excess of $75,000 for such diverse studies as water desalinization, metal ion removal, and spatial behavior of roughness in laboratory watersheds. NASA awarded a contract of $34,936 for a study of turbulence in organic solutions, and the National Science Foundation awarded to a number of staff members on the campus contracts totaling more than $400,000 for studies concerning nucl eation phenomena, noble gasses, internal state assignment algorithms, strain wave parameters, film boiling, fast neutron flux measurement, mercury vapor as a buffer gas, stressed distribution in geological structures,

13

heavy ions passing through gasses, nucleate boiling, and adsorption and permeabili ty.

The NSF also awarded over $350.,0.0.0. for support of the UMR 1966 Summer Institutes for teachers of chemistry, physics and computer science, a continuation of programs originated a number of years ago. Of particular interest were initial grants by the same agency supporting undergraduate research in physics, civil engineering, and chemical' engineering. This relatively new development is heir! in high regard by the faculty inasmuch as it is expected to foster enrichment of instruction and to stimulate interest in graduate study. The Office of Naval Research continued an earlier award in the extent of $35,0.00 for studies in metallic corrosion processes. The Public Health Service awarded two grants, one of $17,489 for study of tryptamine oxidase of hygrophorus conicus and a second of $26,871 for a study of toxic effects of odorous micro-pollutants. Industrial grants included one by the Mobil Oil Company of $3,0.0.0 for a study in non-Newtoni?n fluid mechanics, and one of $20.,0.0.0 from the Petroleum Research Fund for investigations in polymer solution turbulence suppression.

One noteworthy recognition of the University's research was provided by the Air Force Institut e of Technology, which in April designated the University of Missouri at Rolla as one of the three national leaders in corrosion research , a di stinction shared with Ohio State University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

The Computer Science Center, no w in its seventh year of operation, has offered progressively improved data analyzing service for all research conducted on the ca mpu s. Despite its employment of very advanced machineS and periphera l equipment, the Center has been harr! pressed to meet demand even whil e operating around the clock. As a consequence, with the assistan ce of a N SF grant of $225 ,0.00 the center is at this time in the process of installing a new IBM 360.-40. machine which will substantially increase its total capacity. The intense industrial demand for computer training in virtually all of the disciplines taught on th e campus has resulted in a large increase in the number of students takin g computer courses . This year over 2000. were enrolled in selected courses, or in the Center 's program, leading to the Bachelor or Master of Science in Computer Science.

The UMR nuclear reactor, which made possible the establishment of the nation's fir st (1961 ) accredited bachelor 's program in nuclear engineering, continues to attract increasing enrollments both in the undergraduate nuclear option in metallurgical engineering and in the graduate program. During the y ear the reactor was also employed in research projects investigating, among others, the activation of minerals in Missouri's water resources, the irradiation of wood pulp and basic sugars, and polymerization reaction mechanisms. Sponsors of this work included McDo nnell Aircraft Corporation, the Missouri Geological Survey , the United States Atomic Energy Commission and neighboring uni ve rsities . All of these services will be materially strengthened thi s year by th e anticipated AEC licensing of 200 kw power, operations for which the reactor is already prepared.

D espite substantial progress in its research efforts, the University is much concerned about maintaining the proper balance between research and teaching. Clearly, the University must always strive for a composition o f activities which best meets its obligations to its students, a ¡ point referred to in the introductory paragraphs of this commentary. Research can do much to fortify the effectiveness of the University 's faculty; indeed, adequately financed research is the lifeblood of an imaginative and creative teaching staff, but it must be properly related to the instructional program. Mr. Leo A. Tonkin, E xecutive D irector of t he District of Columbia Council on Higher Educa tion , recently comm ented in an address befor e the University's Society Of Sigma X i: " .. . Wheneve r possible, research money should

14

be allocated in such a way that it al so will do the greatest good educationally. If two institutions or two investigators have the same competence to perform a given piece of research then the choice ought to go to the one with the greater capacity and willingness to involve students in the research experience. But it is quite another thing to compromise the research investment in pursuit of an educational objective.

"This research compromise now reaches beyond questionable investigator subsidization, and is transferring research funds into a catchall category of curriculums and institutional development grants.

The expanding effort to build new academic centers, to improve departments, and to expand institutional capacity should be labeled properly as an academic development program - certainly not one of research. Thus, our national research program, as presently evolving in higher education, should in reality be two mutually sustaining programs - one a constantly expanding research effort, conditioned on excellence and productivity; and the other, an institutional development program geared to future increases in graduate education and research operations ... " The University does not intend to attract distinguished teachers to the campus only to divert their entire energies t<;> research. It does expect to search for every avenue of proper employment of its intellectual resources without divorcing them from the institution 's preeminent forte . . . excellence in teaching.

Buildings The physical plant of the University of Missouri at Rolla has undergone remarkable expansion in the 21 years since the Second World War. About $25,000,0.00 worth of projects have been completed or are now underway . In the latter group are the University's first library building, a $2 ,250.,000 undertaking financed with state and federal funds. Its completion in 1967 will provide efficient storage and study facilities for which UMR has long had great need. A second, the Graduate Center for Materials Research which is now under construction on the former J ackling Field, will provide quarters and equipment valued at over $1 ,000,0.0.0. for that laboratory. A $50.0,0.00 addition to the Physics building is currently under construction , and ground will be broken during the 1966-67 academic year for a $1,450,000 addition to the Mechanical Engineering Laboratori~s. Last, the new $2,0.0.0.,000 auditorium-gymnasium will be started this year on the eastern end of the game fields at Tenth Street and Bishop Avenue. It will provide attractive recreational and cultural facilities for which the University has had almost desperate need for 30 years.

A fifth unit, Holtman Hall , was added to ' the Men 's Residence Center this year, and a large (seven story) commercial project, Thomas Jefferson Residence Hall for men, is nearing completion on a spectacular site high above I-44 at the north edge of the campus.

Beyond these structures which are either under way or awaiting groundbreaking, the University is planning a number of furth er important projects. Most urgent is a general classroom and communications arts building to house the D epartments of Humanities and Social Studies. Following that in priority are an engineering research laboratory; a much more commodious and useful university center ; numerous dormitory rooms, 700 of which are expected from a gift planned by one of the University 's eminent alumni ; a studei1t infirmary ; an enlarged mathematics and computer science cent.er ; a critically needed addition to the Chemical Engineering and Chemistry Building, and a new facility for ceramic and metallurgical engineering.

(In response to the request iss ued in July of 1966 by the study committee of the Missouri Gen eral Assembly , a 10-year plan of minimum building needs has been submitted to the Business Manager 'of the University of Missouri System) .

The University Centennial

The University Centennial occurs in 1970. In recogmtlOn of this historic landmark, a special development campaign was launched during the 1965-66 academic year.

The formal announcement of the Centennial Chall enge program was made at a luncheon on March 17 1966, for which the keynQte speaker was the President. of the University of Missouri System, Dr. E lmer Ellis. Noting that the composite financial objectives of the several Centennial task forces totaled $69,361, 160, he explained that the purposes for which these funds are to be raised are not superfluous "frills" but essentials in the University 's execution of its mission as stipulated by the System's Board of Curators in 1964 .

In addition , the Chancellor of the University announced the establishment of an executive group of alumni and faculty members who will supervise the several phases of the Centennial Campaign. The organization of the campaign will be completed early in the 1966 fall semester and the drive will be started in October.

Much of these fund s will be derived from state and federal sources, but the achievement of excellence for which UMR is striving will be possible only with contributions from private donors .

Although the financial objective of the Centennial plan seems inordinately large as compared to the institution's recent annual expenditures, it is believed to be more realistic and attainable than would first appear. Of the $69,000,000 total , $7,500,000 had been acquired by the date of the launching of the campaign . Additional gifts and receipts since that time have totaled another million dollars , and there are firm grounds for optimism that the enti re plan may be realized by the University's anniversary.

Conclusion

The administration and faculty have found a towering challenge in the course of recent events on the campus. Much has been accomplished; much remains to be done. Understandably, there h ave been

New Program to Give Drop-Out Students a Second Chance When a college student has been on scholastic probation two semesters in succession or any three semesters, he is usually dropped from school. But at U.M.R . such students are getting another chance.

Last fall, Dr. Aaron Miles, dean of the School of Engineering, found through extensive testing that about 80 per cent of the students on scholastic probation were capable of earning engineering or science degrees. But they were unmotivated, usually due to maladjustment to college living - homesickness, too much social life, inability to study efficiently.

The students talked to Dean Miles.

One played cards too much, he said, and went to the show almos t every night. One spent all his weekends in St. Lou is vis iting his girl friend and s pend the week nights looking at her pictw-e. Another was involved in too many activities and living in conditions not conducive to study. Still another 16

"felt he carried too large an academic load.

An initial trial program was set up w hereby students could re-enter U .M.R. on a 12-hour unclas sified program consisting m os tly of humanities, social studies and some science courses. If the students were successful in removing academic probation, they could petition to enter their former departments or different departments in good standing.

Three different groups in three semesters were admitted to the program, with over half removing their probation. Some members of the first group are expected to be graduated fr om U.M.R. in 1967 in engineering fields .

Others have been removed from probation and have transferred to other colleges.

According to Dr. Miles, the program appears to be successful in helping probationary students re-establish

their academic good standing. He says of the program, "This could lead to a new concept in student individualization, so necessary to the ever-growing higher education system in the United States. "

UMR Professor in Peru Gets Aid From Alumni An interesting and challenging life as a professor of mining engineering in Lima, Peru, has been reported by Professor Car I Christiansen '47, from UMR and is teaching at the National Engineering University on a two-year leave of absence.

Professor Christiansen, who went to Peru last March , has begun his second semester as advisor to the department of mining engineering for Peru's on ly state-supported eng in e e r i n g school.

During his first semester, in addition to projects on curriculum revision, library improvement, laboratory planning and equipment requisitioning, Christiansen introduced a course in rock mechanics . D4ring the second semester, h e will add two new courses. Walter Casquino '66, who received his master 's degree in mining engineering is working with Professor Christiansen and Casquino wi 11 become the first full-time professor in the mining engineering department. Heretofore, several engineers would come to the campus one or two days a week for an hour to deliver a lecture.

Christiansen is also working to broaden contacts with industry. At therequest of some of the engineers in the area, he will present newer mining techniques to them during the summer vacation months of January, February, and March.

"The mineral wealth of the country is tremendous and the potential for economic ,growth is excellent, " Christiansen said. However, much' of the mining has not advanced technologically and recent improvement have not filtered down to mine operations.

Among Christiansen's friends in the mining industry is Clarence Woods '27, who was a pioneer gold mine operator in the mountainous jungles near Brazil. Several other alumni who operate mines have come to visit Christiansen and offer the i r assistance.

Among them are EdgiJ.rdo Portaro '61, (recently returned from management training in Scotland and Switzerland), Pedro Montori '61, Pierre Garriq ue '63, Peter Frei, Richardo Proano '62, and Oscar Aguilar '62.

Christiansen's 18

teaching project,

which is under the auspices of the Ford Foundation, is contracted by I 0 w a State University representing the MidAmerican State University Association of which UMR is a member. Christiansen is the first professor from the Rolla campus to accept a foreign assignment under this program.

Researchin9 in Sweden A U .M.R. professor is doing research in conjunction with the Kiruna Mines in Sweden.

Dr. Geza Kisvarsanyi, assistant professor of geology, spent one month at the Swedish mines recently obtaining 100 samples from the iron deposit for study at U.M.R. The results will be sent to the Kiruna Mines as well as to mines in Missouri for their use.

The similarity between Missouri and Swedish iron deposits makes such a study feasible.

Workshop on Soc ial Responsibitit~ Held We read a great deal these days of demonstrations on University campuses throughout the country, particularly in the west, advocating action on a number of "far out" propositions.

These demonstrations are not typical of the great mass of students and we are glad to refer to a Workshop at UMR held November 11 and 12, on the subject, "Science, Engineering, and Society; Impact and Responsibility. " This group of students devoted themselves to matters beyond strict engineering in an effort to determine their responsibility in the broader area of social, political and economic areas of our life.

The keynote address, "Technology, Knowledge and Responsibility" delivered by Dr. Ronald McNeur, Study Secretary in the General Division of Higher Education of the Presbyterian Church.

He is a native of New Zealand. His book, "Space-Time-God," indicates his

interest in technology and relationship between the revolution in science and the dimension of meaning in life.

The Workshop participants discusseci six areas of concern: Mass Communications, Pollution of Environment, Urbanization, The Uses of Nuclear Energy, Automation-Cybernation and Mass Transportation.

The Workshop was presented by the School of Engineering, School of . Science and the Extension Division in cooperation with Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, Missouri Society of Professional Engineers, Student Chapter; Interfaith Council (B.S.U., Gamma Delta, Newman Club, Wesley , and U .C.C.F.).

Otto Zingg was the Chairman of the Workshop Planning Committee.

The Atomic Energy Commission Regulatory Staff has recommended the approval of a power increase of the UMR nuclear reactor to 200 thermal kilowatts. This would increase the reactor power to 20 times its present capacity of 10 thermal kilowatts.

The UMR reactor, which was first operated in December 1961 , was the first nuclear reactor in Missouri.

Today about 11 projects are being researched by UMR's departments and departments of nearby universities.

UMR Basketball The UMR basketball team w h o e-xperienced the best season of the roundball sport, in 1965, since 1946, completed its schedule through December with a record of 4 and 4.

Coach Billy Key is working with eight lettermen in the 1966 edition of Miner cagers, including UMR's scoring ace of last season, Randy VesselL Vessell totaled 262 points, averaging 13.8 points per game. Charles Andrew s, Wayne Lewis, John Head, all with averages in double figures, are back with Tom Borgemeyer, Loris Piepho , Bill Boyd and Dick Stewart. Cairns, who was named the recipient of last year's MlAA Sportsmanship Award, is not with the team this year. He was touted a prime contender for the 1966-67 All-Conference TearTL Veteran letterman Len Bornemann is expected to be out the entire season on doctor 's orders, while 200-pound freshman forward Dick Graham, s uffered a knee injury on the first day of practice. A torn cartilage will keep him on the sideline all year.

Adding depth to the sq uad this year are seven freshmen additions including Bob Brown, 6'5 " , 200-pound forward, from St. Louis ' McBride High School , also Mike Windish from the same school; Mike Brinkmeyer, a 6'8" center from Riverview Gardens in St. Louis County; and Bill Sh anks from Willow Springs (Mo.) High SchooL At the end of December the Miners were victorious in half of their eight gaililes . One of the victories was over the Warrensburg Mules . In their otherconference game they lost to Springfield, the winner of the conference title last year.

The Miners continue to play their home games at the Rolla High School gYrTillasium . The 2000 seats do not nearly accommodate the enth us iastic student and towns-people fans. The UMR Auditorium-Field Hous e is still in a dormant stage since the bids exceeded th~ appropriated funds for the facility.

We are hopeful that the stalemate will be broken soon . . December 1966

Books Given to library The U.M.R. library has recently received 88 volumes of books from private donors. The books, mostly in the field of metallurgical engineering, are availab le in the stacks for student use .

Hedgepeth Assistant Basketball Coach Gerald Hedgepeth, one time assistant to Mizzou's famed cage mentor Sparky Stalcup, has been named to the post of assistant ' basketball coach of the University of Missouri at Rolla.

Hedgepeth will aid head coach Billy Key in the 1966-67 basketball campaign.

Hedgepeth graduated from Southwest Missouri State in 1942, having lettered in basketbalL He obtained his Master's degree in education from the University of Missouri, Columbia in 1952 , after taking the position of Stalcup's assis tant in 1950 .

During his seven-year stay at Columbia, the Tigers had only a Single losing season compiling an overall mark of 94 wins and 62 losses . In 1954, the University of Missouri won the National Baseball Championship.

Hedgepeth was assistant coach of that squad.

From 1957 to 1963, Hedgepeth managed a sporting goods store in Springfield, Missouri, and from 1963 to August of 1965, he coached high sch ool s p orts in th e Fort Leonard Wood area. Hedgepeth came to the U.M .R. campus in the fall of 1965 to serve in h is present capacity as Univers ity Housing Director.

Grid Season Ends, Three Wins, 7 Losses Coach Dewey Allgood 's Miss o uri Miners closed a ten-game varsity foot ball schedule w ith a three-win, sevenloss mark . With the expected loss of only three men , prospects are good next year for the best season in several years at the Univer s ity of Miss o uri at Rolla.

Twelve out of 22 starters were new to the game of college football, and in Allgood 's words, " You can expect mistakes in a case like thiS, and they made them!" However, the final statistics show outstanding fres hmen such as Ron Boyer, who caught a record-breaking 3 7 passes this season, and Eddie Lane , the 190-pound quarterback from Fredericktown, who intercepted a total of eight

passes (an other season record).

SEASON'S RECOR D

"Freshman h alfback Larry Oliver just seemed to come out of the b lue," continued Allgood in his prais~s of the first-year men. O liver, who grad u ated from McCluer High in Florissant, Missouri, came on strong late in the season and twice broke the single game mark for passing yardage caught. A student of civil engineering, Oliver picked -up ten passes good for 173 yards against Brad ley.

Three-year veterans who will be returning next year include starting quarterback Ronnie Lewis from Aurora, Missouri, and half-back Gene Ricker.

This passing combination wiped out 14 career and individual game marks before Ricker faltered because of recurring injuries. Once having attained the rank of seventh leading pass receiver in the NCAA national list, Ricker went four straight games without one com pletion. .
